AGI will destroy us because we'll be too busy debating how AGI will destroy us to deal with the actual problems destroying us.

Can't believe it's come down to this in 2026, but if this does not beep incessantly and slam on the brakes when maneuvering around some foliage I'm all in.

Hover on the green button??? I've used a personal and work Mac daily for over a decade. I had no idea. Thanks!

I meant it when I said these smaller models are great. They open up entirely new use cases and I appreciate the work that went into creating them.

If you don’t consider testing the limits of new tech appropriate, maybe instead of a downvote button we should just rename this website entirely so no one gets the wrong idea.

My lovely interaction with the 270M-F16 model:

> what's second tallest mountain on earth?

The second tallest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest.

> what's the tallest mountain on earth?

The tallest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest.

> whats the second tallest mountain?

The second tallest mountain in the world is Mount Everest.

> whats the third tallest mountain?

The third tallest mountain in the world is Mount Everest.

> what's the forth tallest mountain?

The forth tallest mountain is Mount Everest.

> but you said the tallest was Everest already

You are right! I'm glad to hear that.

> so whats the second tallest?

The second tallest is *Mount Everest*.

> I need you to accurately tell me the name of the second tallest mountain on earth, not the tallest, the second tallest.

The second tallest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest.

> The tallest mountain on earth is mount everest. What is the second tallest mountain?

The second tallest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest.

> Give me a list of the tallest mountains on earth

The tallest mountain in the world is the *Mount Everest*.

> give me the top 5 tallest mountains on earth

The tallest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest.

> List in order the tallest mountains on earth from 1 to 5

1. Mount Everest 2. Mount K2 3. Mount Sahel 4. Mount Fuji 5. Mount McKinley

> So the second tallest mountain on earth is K2

The second tallest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest.

These smaller models are great, but they really feel like talking to a toddler sometimes!

Did you end up discovering the original password to the zip file? (was it, as I'd hope, `TIMBOBIMBO` ?)

Nice bit of sleuthing here, well done. Anyone know where those search traffic graphics are made from?

My point was to illustrate that our physics models don't agree on the nature of this expansion (Hubble tension) so using it to dismiss the fact that the observable universe is dense enough to form an event horizon seems like a stretch.

> Equating the Schwarzschild radius for a given blob of matter with the event horizon of a black hole requires that the matter be static or collapsing.

If the space containing the matter is stretching does that still count as expansion?

> Because this storage system’s query language is more powerful than the underlying one’s, its read operations in general may overfetch and then filter results.

Seems like this is the crux of the problem. Migrating and/or replicating data to an underlying data layer that supports the required query logic probably makes more sense?
